“Romney is hiding Bain abortion profits in his tax returns,” says Tampa foe

If you’d have bothered to read the article, it actually was advocating that the GOP delegates select a better candidate at the convention, not for people to vote for Obama.

“This is like blaming the owners of Waste Management when a murder victim gets thrown in their dumpster.”

BS. When you make contracts with Planned Parenthood, you know darn well that you will be transporting aborted babies. They made a fully conscious decision to participate in a vital function of that industry, and in doing so, help support its continued existence. They were free to turn down those contracts, but they took the money, so they can be held responsible for that decision without any qualms.

“Disposing of medical waste, regardless of what is involved, is essential to prevention of mass contagion.”

Yes, that is true. Which is why, if abortion providers could not obtain contracts with disposal companies, they would not be able to lawfully operate their death factories. Public health laws alone would prevent it.

The waste disposal firms have a moral choice. They can participate in an immoral industry, or not participate. If they choose not to participate, someone else will probably still pick up those dead childrens’ bodies. If nobody else does, then those who murder those children would simply be forced to stop. There is no risk of an actual public health epidemic, no matter what choice they make, so that shouldn’t even factor into the moral calculus.

“If someone murdered a bunch of babies I would not be offended if the funeral home made a profit on the funerals. Why should I be offended if the bodies were the result of an abortion?”

Well, what if the funeral home made a contract with the murderer, in advance, to dispose of 1000 infant bodies a year for the next 10 years? Don’t you think that makes a little bit of difference when you assign moral responsibility to the parties?

These bastards are profiteering from an immoral industry, and in doing so they help it continue to exist. If everyone that had to help the abortion mill run, from the disposal company, to medical suppliers, to the payroll processing firms, simply refused to participate, then those abortionists would have to close shop. They may not be as directly responsible as the abortionists themselves, but they do have some degree of culpability nonetheless.

[Boogieman]

“Other wise all body parts and other medical trash would pile up in the streets.”

No, they wouldn’t, that is patently ridiculous. If an abortion mill piled up dead babies in the street, it would be shut down for local health and sanitation violations. There are plenty of examples of abortion mills that tried to skimp on their expenses by unlawfully disposing of the bodies, and that is the consequence: they get shut down.

Then again, every dollar they take from planned parenthood is a dollar that can’t be used to kill another baby. They should raise their prices.

Turning down the contract wouldn’t save a single baby. Keep your eye on the ball. Abortion is the abomination ... lets stay focused on those actually committing it and keeping it legal — not Stericycle, or Bain Capital, or Mitt Romney.

The Huffington Post boostered this idea into the blogosphere, that Romney "profiteers" on abortion by indirectly funding the disposal of its corpses (Stericycle). This is irrelevant. Many of us as pro-lifers have buried the bodies of aborted babies, so we have done directly and intentionally what Romney is accused of doing at a triple remove, indirectly and even inadvertently: interring the remains.

I have personally seen and handled bloody shreds of babies recovered literally from back-alley Hefty bags, thrown out with office paper waste, microwave popcorn leftovers and assorted trash.

There are substantive things to talk about in this race: we don't have to run down the rabbit-trails of Huffpo-invented gotcha issues.

Obama is an abortion extremist. Romney is a squish. But it's Obama who is about knocking down the limits on any abortion, by anyone, for any reason, at any time before live birth and for a few gasping, writhing minutes after birth.

I would grimly but intentionally steer my car full of children into a Romney tree to avoid going over an Obama cliff.
